The court rebuked the CBI for approaching the central government for advice on the matter and asked the investigating agency's counsel, additional solicitor general Mohan Parasaran: "Since when has the CBI started taking advice from the government? Why didn't you come to the court for clarifications?" On March 1, 2007, the Supreme Court had ordered a CBI investigation into the alleged disproportionate assets of Yadav and his relatives.
